General Description
The Queen of Swords is one of my favorite cards in the suit and in the deck. The sharp attributes of the suit are balanced in her by the maturity and sensitivity of her position. She is a clear and acute communicator, a perceptive judge of character, a quick thinker. She is honest, dependable and resilient. I've drawn her ready for battle, armored and armed—a warrior queen. Her penchant for activity is expressed through the unruly clouds and wind whipping up behind her—the air element of the suit at play. But she is sturdy and still, standing tall and unperturbed. Her gaze is calm, her mind and blade are sharp, and her stance is self-assured and proud.
Lessons and Qualities
The queen has a lot of lessons to teach. She is very incisive and can show us how to judge a person or a situation fairly without being distracted by their flattery, wiles or confusing messages. She is level-headed, tempering flaring emotions with calm and collected intellectual evaluation. She is honest and does not stand for bullshit. She can teach us how to communicate clearly, how to prioritize our needs and desires, and how to stand up for ourselves.
Balancing Objectivity and Compassion
But it is important to remember that leading from the mind rather than the heart is not always as objective as we think. And that even objectivity can be benefited by empathy and compassion—attributes especially important in an authority figure. So the queen must keep her head and her unclouded vision, she must not let the desires and opinions of others obscure her own judgement, and she must not let them exert their will over her. She must see, evaluate and consider all those influences clearly when wielding her blade and making her independent decisions.
